Chapter 100: Raising the Flag
Seeing that Yi Annie was also helpless, Betty had nothing to say, because no matter what she said, she didn't seem to be able to help with this kind of mysterious incident, and it was very likely that she would be involved in it.
Before the last time she went to the Long Lake apartment building with Iannie, Betty had never seen a horror movie and never believed in the existence of ghosts, but during her time with Iannie, these things played out again and again, and finally made her feel uneasy.
Given Betty's own current boyfriend Victor and Anne knew each other in their early years, it is natural that they also talked about this issue when they were alone. In Victor's memory, Ian Anne a few years ago was also normal, and had nothing to do with ghosts.
But after the reunion, this impression is completely different!
"So what the hell is going on?" Betty thought for a long time, but she didn't have a clue.
Yi Annie gave Betty a reassuring look: "Don't you think I'm okay now?" ”
Betty sighed and left Eaanne's workstation with a wry smile. It's Monday, so everyone should be busy.
Yi Annie watched Betty leave, looked around, and everyone in the editorial department didn't know what to say to Yi Annie's eyes, so they had to avoid Yi Annie's eyes and continue to do their own things.
Originally, Anne had to let Catherine go through her manuscript first. But now that Catherine was not there, Anne forgot to ask about this question when she called just now, so she had to send a copy of the manuscript to Catherine's mailbox, copy it to the editor-in-chief Charlie, and then go to the printing room to type out a copy and put it on Catherine's empty desk.
As mentioned earlier, Catherine's way of working is very retro, and she doesn't use a computer to do her work. Although she did have a company email address, Anne had no idea when and how Catherine would check it. Therefore, it is safer to type out a copy of the manuscript and put it on her desk.
Originally, Yi Annie also planned to take this manuscript with her and give it to Catherine when she went to the White Horn Nursing Home at noon, but this approach was obviously a bit of a public and private separation, and finally gave up the plan.
Then, while checking her mailbox, Yi Annie began to send WeChat messages to Wang Yuxin.
"Are you in the new house?"
"Yes, the two masters have been pacified, and they are waiting for the furniture to be delivered to the door. According to the efficiency of Canada, I don't know when the delivery will come back, but if I can tell me when I will come, I can go and buy the kitchen utensils first. Alas, if I keep waiting, I feel like I'm going to have to eat out for lunch and dinner. But fortunately, we live in the city now, and it is easy to find something to eat. In the afternoon, we have to build furniture together, you come back from work early......"
Yi Annie's question attracted Wang Yuxin's long reply, which made her a little embarrassed.
"Yuxin, I may not go back tonight to live ......"
"Huh? What's wrong with you again? In this regard, Wang Yuxin seems to have learned to be obedient, and Yi Annie's words only showed a hint, and she was immediately discovered by Wang Yuxin.
"Uh, yes. The previous editor of the Mystery Edition has passed away, and Catherine and Inferno are going to attend the body meeting and tomorrow's funeral, so I will probably go over too. ”
"Catherine Gainferno, it seems that this thing is dangerous?"
Yi Annie took a deep breath and slowly typed out a few words: "Yes......"
"Then you stay safe, if you don't come back, I'll take care of Lulu."
Wang Yuxin was probably just joking, but when this fell into Yi Annie's eyes, combined with the previous divination results, it had a sense of putting up a flag.
So the chat was paused at this point, and I didn't know how to proceed.
When Yi Annie was thinking about how to reply, the mobile phone rang, and when she picked it up, it was the 4S store that called.
Yi Annie picked up and said a few words, and sure enough, as she expected, her car was finally repaired, and the 4S store called to inquire about picking up the car and payment.
At this time, Yi Anne remembered that her car should have been repaired this week, but now she was driving a car borrowed from Inferno, and it was very troublesome to dispose of these two cars. If you want to return Inferno's car, you have to drive his car out of town, and on the way back, you have to find the vampires of Inferno's estate to drop her off, or find someone to go all the way to the vampire mansion in Noorn Province to pick her up.
In addition, the newly rented house is within the Xiacheng Peninsula and does not have its own parking space, even if Wang Yuxin is asked to help take the car from the 4S store, he will have to study where to park the car for a while, which is very troublesome.
After weighing it for a while, Yi Annie still planned to put the car in the 4S shop of the car dealership on the grounds that she was going to go out in the near future and couldn't use the car for the time being. However, she still paid by phone, which solved the problem of car repair costs, so as not to think that she was going to throw away the car and run the bill.
Then, Anne flipped through the contact list on the phone and picked out one of the "Jeffs" to dial. Naturally, she was looking for Jeff, the screenwriter of "Icefall", and in the previous mysterious incident, Yi Annie just played a matchmaking role, and after hearing Inferno say that there was no problem over there, she put this aside.
But after what happened last night, Iannie was a little scared, so she planned to ask Jeff about Inferno's handling of the waterfall.
The phone rang for a moment before it was answered, and before Jeff could speak, Anne could hear the voices in the background and the unrecognizable sound of the waterfall.
"Huh? Jeff, are you still filming Icefall? Yi Annie asked with some confusion, "Didn't you say before that the crew was going to give up on this project?" ”
Jeff on the other end of the phone heard Iannie's question, but became happy: "Didn't the secret commissioner tell you?" The matter is all settled, several superpowers who ran into the sea have come back safely, and it seems that their superpowers are all gone, and they themselves have no memory of what happened in the past few days, it is so perfect! Other than that, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the waterfall – although it looks like the amount of water is a little smaller, but post-production solves the problem. ”
Anne was surprised by this ending, but when Ferno told her that the matter was settled, Anne didn't think about it carefully, and the definition of "solution" in her initial general idea was just to make the waterfall no longer give people superpowers. Given that the time when those superpowers ran into the water happened to be the night when Anne saw the dark shadows in the fog, she thought that these people would eventually dissolve into the fog and become part of the sea and fog.
The ending doesn't seem to be as Cthulhu as she thought it would be.
